An Apple a Day…
Keeps the munchies at bay. At least until you get sick of ‘em, like when you eat six or seven on a trip to the apple orchard. That’s what we did Friday Sep. 29, the day before the big game.
A trip to Wilson’s Apple Orchard in Iowa City is one of our favorite autumn past times. We made the outing with the Silber/Reese clan this year and had a great time. We found some great new apple varieties for both cooking & dipping (in my scruptious apple dip, for example). Wilson’s lets you try all the apples you want while roaming the orchard looking for that perfect blend of sweet & tart and we took full advantage of that policy! Rachel & I made our way back home with over 20 pounds of apples. Needless to say, there are plenty yet to be eaten.
Wilson’s also has a quaint pumpkin patch in the middle of the orchard in which we found some pumpkins to take home as well. The orchard itself is rather large and when you’re out among the trees, there are apples as far as the eye can see. Click on the link below to revisit our trip, see new pics of Sydney (she’s doing very well and packing on the pounds) and check back soon to see pictures of our upcoming trip to the Des Moines Fall Pumpkin Festival. (Also notice we’ve archived older picture albums so that only the newer ones show on the main page of the photo gallery)
